It enables applications to connect to the real world through integrations. More than 500 paying customers rely on Nango today, including Replit & Ramp. We are a YC-backed, mid-seven-figure ARR company with a team of 14 from AWS, GitHub, Okta, Snyk, Netlify, Uber, Samsara, Workato, and other top-tier dev tools. We are hiring a Founder's Associate to work directly with the two founders across all aspects of running and scaling the company. This is a highly transversal role with broad exposure to strategy, growth, product & operations. It is an exceptional opportunity to learn how a startup is built and scaled from the inside. ## WHAT YOU'LL DO - Partner directly with the founders on the highest-leverage problems across the company, spanning product, go-to-market, strategy, operations, finance, and hiring. - Own ambiguous, high-impact projects end-to-end. One month you might reshape our pricing, lead discovery for a new AI opportunity, prepare the groundwork for launching a new product, or rethink our positioning based on customer and market research. - Help define how Nango grows by researching markets, ICPs, competitors, customer needs, and emerging trends in AI and developer tools. - Work closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Sales to turn strategy into execution and ensure our biggest priorities actually happen. - Build AI-powered systems, automations, and internal tools that help Nango scale without adding unnecessary operational overhead. - Lead company-wide initiatives such as offsites, ESOP administration, certifications, compliance projects, internal tooling, or other cross-functional programs. - Own and continuously improve core business operations, including finance, legal, billing, vendor management, contracts, and other operational processes as the company grows. - Act as an extension of the founders, working on whatever is most important to building Nango into a category-defining company. ## WHO YOU ARE - You want to become a founder one day—or you’re excited by the opportunity to help build a company from the inside and grow into a key leadership role. - You have a technical background and are comfortable writing code, working with APIs, and building automations. You’re likely an engineer by training or experience. - You use AI extensively to research, write, analyze, prototype, and automate your work, and are constantly looking for ways to increase your leverage. - You’re fascinated by startups, B2B SaaS, developer tools, and AI, and naturally enjoy understanding products, markets, customers, and company strategy. - You’re exceptionally analytical, structured, and able to quickly learn unfamiliar domains, whether that’s pricing, legal, finance, compliance, or go-to-market. - You’re comfortable owning ambiguous problems without a playbook and driving them through to completion. - You communicate clearly, think independently, and earn trust across technical and non-technical teams. - Bonus: you’ve been a founder, an early startup employee, contributed to open source, built developer products, or have experience in a fast-growing B2B software company. ## LOCATION This is an in-person role in San Francisco. ## About Nango ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Nango provides an open-source, developer-first integration platform that lets companies build, run, and maintain product integrations (including AI agents) across 800+ APIs at scale. - **Entity Type**: Private (funding stages: Pre-Seed, Seed, and latest round in March 2026) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Bastien Beurier (Co-Founder, CTO) and one other co-founder ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Developer infrastructure (integration platforms) - **Target customers**: B2B – SaaS companies, AI-native products, and development teams that need to embed integrations into their products or connect AI agents to external APIs. - **Mission/purpose**: “Connect your product & AI agents with 700+ APIs. Build, run, and maintain integrations with AI in code, on infrastructure built for scale.” ## Products & Services - **Nango Integration Platform** (SaaS, open source, self-hostable): A unified runtime that handles authentication (OAuth, API keys, token refresh), webhooks, scheduled syncs, triggers, and logging/monitoring. It supports high concurrency, tenant isolation, and resumable executions. - **Nango MCP Server & AI Tools**: Expose any integration as an AI-ready tool (e.g., MCP server for Cursor), allowing agents to search, understand, and act on external data. - **Pre-built Integration Templates**: 3,000+ templates covering 800+ APIs (e.g., ADP, Azure DevOps, Workday, Gong, BambooHR) that can be reused or customised. - **Integration Code Generator**: Describe use cases in plain English to generate integration code automatically. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$7.5M** in a round led by Gradient (March 2026), with participation from Horizon and Y Combinator. Prior rounds include a $3M seed (2023) and $500k pre-seed (2023). - **Annual Revenue**: Not publicly disclosed, but the company reports **7-figure ARR** and serves “hundreds of companies” (nango.dev/blog). - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Gradient (lead), Horizon (seed/early backer), Y Combinator (W23 batch). - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew **142.9% year-over-year** to 9 employees (LinkedIn). - Monthly website visits of 151k, up **111% yearly** (LinkedIn). - Team operates across 6 countries (US, Brazil, Switzerland, Poland, Spain, Argentina). - Claims **1M+ integrations** run on its infrastructure. ## Competitive Advantages - **Open-source & self-hostable**: Customers can deploy in their own environment, inspect infrastructure, and extend integrations in code. - **Developer-first with AI readiness**: Integrations are defined as code (API-first, CI/CD, local dev). The platform exposes any integration as an MCP tool for AI agents. - **Proven scale**: Built to handle high concurrency (<100ms schedule-to-execution), with tenant isolation and 99.9% uptime. - **Broad API coverage**: 800+ APIs and 3,000+ templates, reducing the need to build from scratch. - **Lean, high-quality engineering**: A small team of experienced platform engineers (many from Datadog, Snyk, etc.) enables fast, durable systems without large overhead. ## Strategic Focus - **Investing in AI agent integrations**: Nango’s MCP server and agent-friendly tools are central to their roadmap; they see integrations as a competitive edge for AI-native SaaS. - **Expanding API coverage and pre-built templates** to reduce time-to-integration for customers. - **Maintaining a tight, remote-first team** while growing revenues and usage, staying selective about hires to preserve velocity and quality. ## Why Work Here - **Fully remote** – team distributed across the US, Europe, and LATAM; outcomes over hours. - **Open-source culture** – transparency, community, and developer friendliness are core values. - **Expert-led** – colleagues come from developer infrastructure companies (e.g., Datadog, GitHub, Snyk); engineers work on hard problems (distribution, scale, API fragmentation). - **Impact & ownership** – small team (7–9 people) means direct contribution to product decisions and architecture; engineers do support and shape the roadmap. - **Technical challenges** – from building a custom Postgres-based scheduler to handling OAuth flows, rate limits, and schema quirks across hundreds of APIs. - **High growth trajectory** – 7-figure ARR, fast-growing user base, and a fresh $7.5M round signal momentum without sacrificing quality of life. ## Sources 1.
